The neoliberal policy reform was attributed to the shortag

I denna studie undersöks Djurgårdens IFs supportrars identitetsskapande och medieanvändning med syftet att ge ett nytt perspektiv inom forskning om den svenska supporterkulturens påverkan på individen. Tre kvalitativa intervjuer förs med hängivna fans av fotbollsklubben för att samla in empiriskt material. Materialet analyseras utifrån identitetsteori och det ritualistiska synsättet på kommunikati

Vid utveckling av stora applikationer använder sig många företag av tekniker så som testdriven utveckling för att skapa en stor samling av test som de sedan kan använda sig av för att validera skriven kod. Detta har blivit standarden på många arbetsplatser. Problem uppstår när en applikation redan är utvecklad och test ej har skrivits under utvecklingens gång. Detta gör det näst intill omöjligt atWhen developing a large application, many companies use techniques such as Test Driven Development in order to get a range of tests on which they later can validate their code with. This has become the standard in many work environments. Problems arise when an application is already developed and tests has not been written in the course of the development. This makes it near impossible to validate

Kan outnyttjade jordburksrester öka produktionen av hållbara fordonsbränslen? Halmstrå utgör en outnyttjad potential till ökad biogasproduktion, vilket kan användas som fordonsbränsle efter uppgradering till 97% metan. Under detta arbete utfördes ekonomiska utvärderingar på storskalig biometan produktion från halmstrå och/eller avloppsslam. Biogas bildas vid nedbrytning av organiskt material undAn increased production of fuels derived from renewable resources is required to obtain a sustainable energy production without greenhouse gas emissions. Biogas is regarded as a renewable energy source which can be used for heat, electricity, and fuel production. However, a purity of 97% methane is required if the produced biogas is to be injected to the natural-gas grid and used as vehicle fuel.

In recent years the importance of financial inclusion for economic growth has been thoroughly discussed. Particularly, the impact of mobile money in the context of developing economies has risen in prominence. This thesis adds to existing literature by exploring the how mobile money increases financial inclusion by conceptualizing it as a process with relative stages. Different theories have been

Electric vehicle (EV) charging may be used in aggregation as virtual batteries to provide a frequency regulating service to the power grid. The service is sold on the Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) markets, and is traded one and two days ahead. Forecasts of charging patterns are essential to reliably provide this ancillary service. The thesis aims to build a generalized model for forecasting

The ongoing surge in internet users worldwide and its complexity causes organisations to digitally transform to stay competitive. Previous research repeatedly emphasised the importance of digital transformation, but the authors see a gap in the literature regarding digital transformation. General change management models have been around, but a more focused framework for digital transformation is

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the perceptions of auditors at different career stages on current management control and the work environment. In order to gain a deeper analysis of the auditors' perspective, the study has used previous empirical research and theories of motivation and job satisfaction. Thus, two research questions have been formulated to support the study.

This paper explores the extent to which international and regional human rights law places obligations on States to protect the interests of undocumented migrant workers in countries of employment.

Today's technology hinder the diagnosis of the lungs and great difficulties occurs when trying to find the cause of illness. Therefore a large number of people suffer from hidden lung diseases whitout kn

This study aims to get a better understanding of what obstacles and problems organizations face when working with Open Innovation what solutions they then employ.

Tourism images and representations depict women in a stereotypical way where men and women are represented differently. Like much advertising, women in tourism promotional marketing are sexualized and exoticized. Destinations are promoted through the use of the female body. There are racial differences in how women are represented in tourism images where black women are exoticized. A country with

Oat (Avena sativa) is a cereal crop rich in dietary fibre, vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients. It is considered to have higher nutritional values compared to other cereals (Tosh & Miller, 2016). Arabinoxylan (AX) is a hemicellulose naturally abundant in cereal crops. It is a major component of dietary fibre in crops like wheat, barley, rye, maize, rice and oats (Lu et al., 2000). Stu

This thesis studies the regional development of Germany in the 19th century, examining whether there was an increased tendency toward economic convergence between the German states following the country’s unification. Through a quantitative analysis using real wage data on various German cities and regions covering the period 1850-1889, the study looks for evidence of beta-convergence both before

5G has the potential to enable transformational reductions in carbon emissions across industries. As the technology can assist with decarbonisation efforts, it is essential to understand how one can accelerate the diffusion of sustainable innovations like 5G. This thesis examines what strategies managers at Ericsson are using to influence the socio-technical transition toward more sustainable 5G.

It has been theorised and researched whether masculine generics are perceived as sexist and should be replaced by so-called gender-fair language. Masculine generics are grammatically masculine forms that are used to refer to people generically. This study investigated Swedish-speaking individuals’ attitudes towards the primary generic pronoun man (‘man’), its partial replacement and less common ge

For any company with a software development branch, one of the most important aspects is to write maintainable, understandable, high-quality source code. This will result in fewer work hours to refactor the code if changes are needed. Therefore it’s expensive to keep working with source code of poor quality. The question is, how to measure the quality of source code? The writers of this thesis ap
